“The government of Mozambique wants to make sure that the road is completed at the end of 2014. It will be a toll road,” Nuno Mapossa of the Investment Promotion Centre in Mozambique told Sapa.
There is currently no tarred road linking southern Mozambique and KwaZulu-Natal's coast. There is currently a 130 km dirt road which forces motorists to travel more than two hours from the Kosi Bay border post to Maputo.
The other route to Mozambique is through Golela border post which goes via Swaziland.
Mapossa said a bridge would be needed in the Maputo Bay during the construction of the toll road.
